High fidelity prototype of mechanism

Objective

The objective of this project was to numerically model the value of one parameter in relation to another within the same mechanical system. I decided to model the velocity of slider B as it relates to the angle Θ - the calculations are shown below. For my high-fidelity prototype, I decided to laser cut my mechanism using clear acrylic, using steel pins for the joints.
